of the increase in numbers of youth in crises, the After
Care program goal is to help our residents cope with the
major issues they face after they are discharged.
The focus of the visits will be to provide guidelines, set
limits, settle disputes, provide encouragement, use
incentives, help with job searches, and provide a more
stable transition back into their communities.
Pathway
of Hope is convinced that we can help minimize the
potential reoccurrences of wrong choices. It is our
objective to be another support to the juvenile's
probation officer and/or DHS worker. With the
additional accountability and mentoring, we believe that
she will have a greater chance of success.

to meet with the prior resident.
